Hotel Monaco Earns Place on List of the Best Hotels in Salt Lake City

UtahBusiness.com -- Kimpton’s Hotel Monaco Salt Lake City was recently named one of the 2013 Best Hotels in Salt Lake City by U.S. News & World Report.

The 2013 Best Hotels are calculated based on the aggregate opinion of
travel experts and guests expressed through awards, recommendations, and
ratings.

"With our recent top-to-bottom renovation, I'm excited the Hotel Monaco
Salt Lake City has earned this prestigious recognition," said general
manager MaryLynn Beck. "We provide so many unique and fun amenities,
like our 'Live Like a Local' offerings, our wellness program and our fun
and frisky animal print robes. We are Salt Lake's ‘Guilty Pleasure,’
and we love sharing that with our guests."

To create this year's rankings, U.S. News factored in the prominence of
industry awards a hotel receives along with its reputation among travel
experts and guests. In total, 1,639 U.S. luxury hotels and 273
Caribbean hotels were analyzed for the 2013 rankings. Only a fraction of
these scored high enough to be named Best Hotels by U.S. News.

"This is our third year ranking hotels, and the bar continues to climb
for luxury properties," said Chad Smolinski, vice president of rankings
and reviews at U.S. News & World Report. "Desirable amenities and
hotel loyalty programs will no longer suffice. People are seeking hotels
that go above and beyond to give their guests an unforgettable
experience. Hotels that consistently meet the high expectations of
experts and travelers are recognized in our rankings."
